Proposal

T1 - Eucalyptus, located in rear garden on rear boundary fence line, to reduce by 2m and reshape. Reason - close to rear boundary fence and leaning significantly into garden. T2 - Elder, located on right hand side of shared access drive, below and intertwined with adjacent Beech tree. Remove and treat stump to prevent regrowth as it is growing out into drive. T3 - Beech, located on the right hand side of the shared drive, above and intertwined with the adjacent Elder tree. Crown lift to 4m. Reason - to clear driveway and remove obstructions from vehicle movements and to allow more light to adjacent hedge which will thicken and develop into a better hedge. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 8

14 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin
Nearest: Bridge, the postcode pin is inside its outline · 12 Grade II
The site itself is not listed. Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.
Show all 14 with distances
Kent Downs National Landscape
Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.
Previously an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is still the designation in law. Since 2023 authorities must seek to further its purpose, not merely have regard to it.
Plan Area of Bridge NP conservation area
Also Bridge. Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Radon affected area, class 6
An estimated 30% or more of homes reach the radon action level. Indicative for the 1 km square, which takes the highest class found in it; a radon test gives the answer for a building.
From the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency indicative atlas. Under building regulations, as the BRE guide BR 211 (2023) sets out, new buildings and extensions need basic radon protection from class 3 in England and Wales and from class 2 in Scotland, and full protection from class 5. The class at the site itself, from the detailed BGS map, decides which.
UKHSA radon ↗
Also on the record
Coalfield, development low risk area; Inside the Bridge built-up area; Tree preservation order about 26 m away: Conyngham Lane Bridge CT4 5JU; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 1, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Mining Remediation Authority, the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency (radon, contains BGS materials © UKRI) and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
